Assemblies and Workshops for Schools and Community Centers

Almanac is a Roster Artist with Young Audiences of New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania. Our AcroAction! program is a a specially developed, 45 minute assembly for grades K-8, with a focus on the question, "what can we do together that we can't do apart?" This program is also available virtually.
Our other offerings through Young Audiences include in-school workshops on teamwork and character values through acrobatics and imagination.

Almanac also offers a full-length, interactive Theatre for Young Audiences Show, Permission to Monster! Learn more about this fun-filled, acrobatic adventure for grades K-5 by clicking here.

Workshops & Camps for All Ages

Almanac has taught workshops at countless schools, universities, theaters, studios, and commercial, private, and public spaces. Our curriculum can be tailored towards your specific goals- whether that be trying out circus for the first time, skill building, choreographing for a performance, or devising for a community showing!

Almanac’s company members have taught camps in partnership with ASAP CT, Bearnstow, Pig Iron Theatre Company, Starfish Circus, and organizations across the US. Our unique pairing of acrobatics, games, and devised theatre techniques allows students to have full control over the creation process.

Our safety and consent centered and identity-affirming learning environment supports students’ full autonomy over their bodies and minds. This often inspires a higher level of confidence, curiosity, and connection to the ensemble. Almanac has coaches that are trained to work with autistic and nuerodivergent students, and are adept at modifying skills for students with disabilities. Aids and caretakers are always welcome in the space. Many workshops can be taught in English and en Español. If you have further accessibility questions, please contact us!
